The music is atmospheric, offering a sense of the place that it was composed for. . . DoveyJunction is an excellentpiece in miniature form for college players or a group of similar-minded Grade 8 instrumentalists who are confidentsoloists.

THREE PIECES FOR TRUMPET AND ORGAN(1999) 13'

trumpet (in C) and organ

Dedicated to John Wallace, Jonathan Freeman-Attwood and Deborah Calland

Samuel speaks of [No.3] being built around ‘two completely opposed motives: the lament or sigh and the royal fanfare’. The fanfare’s impersonal grandeur is counterpoised by the sense of personal loss, echoes of the last post being heard more than once. An interesting and rewarding piece. Glyn Pursglove, Music-web International, July 2006On the analogy, perhaps, of the famous 'Last Post', Rhian Samuel's Threnody with Fanfares unites fanfare and lament to memorable effect. Peter Palmer, Tempo, 60 (238), 2006
